STEERING

Manufacturer
Ford Motor Company
What Happened
The steering system in your Crown Victoria has a part called the lower intermediate shaft. This shaft helps connect the steering wheel to your wheels. In some cases, the shaft can corrode severely, causing a chain reaction that could put your entire steering system at risk.
Risk if Unfixed
If the corrosion gets bad enough, the steering column could collapse, and you could lose control of your vehicle. This could cause a serious accident, especially if you're traveling at a high speed.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the faulty lower intermediate shaft, inspect and fix any damage to the upper intermediate shaft and steering column lower bearing, and install a retainer clip if the bearing has separated – all free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
